[AQ] Today's not my day... [Demi/Dainan]

[Dainan]

Eithan plopped down on Dainan's knee, crossing his arms as he looked at the math notebook in front of him. His face contorted into a look of confusion and a cringe. "I don't understand why they make you learn math..." Well, he knew why they taught the basics... but this was too much.

As he listened to Demi, Dainan shot a small glance to Eithan when the guardian mumbled, he almost rolled his eyes at the statement... not that he disagreed with him. He mindlessly tapped his pencil against his notebook, really not bothering to even attempt doing it while listening. It was interesting to hear how others got to Seiyo, way more fun than doing maths.

"Wow... what was the international school like?" It was the first question to leave his mouth, he was genuinely curious. He went to your usually public school, a few exchange students and students who moved from other countries. "Sorry for suddenly asking, I was just curious."

[Demi]

Encore moved to lay across Demi's shoulder, playing with some of her human's long black hair... humming. She had no cares about maths... Demi knew what she was doing, so Encore didn't have to. Plus... it was boring as all get out! Who would willingly do maths?? Not her. Nor Eithan, apparently, judging by his expression when looking at the book. She felt like she found her soul friend. This was perfect. "Me either." She piped up.

Demi ignored the guardians for the moment, starting to work on the math. Her pencil paused above the paper, though, when Dainan asked about her previous school. She glanced over at him, blinking at him blankly. "Mm... it wasn't too bad." Minus the bullies. But what school didn't have bullies? Then again, she didn't seem to attract too many bullies here... which was surprising. She thought she'd surely gain some jerks making fun of her for one thing or another.

Instead, she'd gotten so lucky... she'd started making friends... a first for her really. She did have a couple of friends as a kid, back in America... but in her international school, she'd truly felt alone. "I spent the bulk of it listening to music and sitting alone." She shrugged a bit.
